Bug Description
Sometimes apport generates a bug report like <https:/
This is somewhat analogous to the fact that apport files the ticket against Twisted instead of against Python, even though the actual executable running is a Python interpreter.
Twisted does include some plugins which will be launched with twistd, so some twistd crashes are appropriate to file against Twisted. Any time the plugin being used is provided by some other project, though, I think the bugs should start out pointing at that other project.
There are basically two ways twistd might be directed to load someone's code. One is with the -y option (same as the --python option). This takes a path and loads some code from it. The other is with a positional argument, as in "twistd web" (though `web` is a plugin provided by Twisted itself).
SRU INFORMATION: This is a bit hard to reproduce, but as this causes needless crash reports against the twisted package, I'd still like to backport this fix into oneiric. It comes with test cases in the test suite which distill the apport information from the bugs referenced here, so if that succeeds, this will be fixed. You can run it with "/usr/share/

Each one a duplicate of a bug report I can't even see.
